2-PHENYLPROPIONALDEHYDE Usage And Synthesis

Occurrence

Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature.

Preparation

By the alkaline condensation of acetophenone and ethyl chloroacetate followed by decomposition of the resulting glycidate (Bedoukian, 1967).

Definition

ChEBI: 2-phenylpropanal is a member of the class of phenylacetaldehydes that is phenylacetaldehyde in which a hydrogen alpha to the aldehyde carbonyl group has been replaced by a methyl group. The major species at pH 7.3.
